500 stars for this Columbian/Dominican restaurant! No, that's not a typo. The food is just THAT…read moregood! Open just two years, the hours are Mon & Tues 11:30 AM to 7 PM; Thurs/Fri/Sat 11:30 AM to 9 PM; & Sunday 11:30 AM to 5 PM. The restaurant is closed on Wed. A big fan of Oxtail, the tender Oxtail (Rabo Encendido Al Vino) @ $19.95 that arrived @ our table was soaking in a bath of special wine sauce. It was the BEST Oxtail I've EVER TASTED. I cannot wait to return for a second helping! The two sides I selected (rice & pinto beans) were unbelievably delicious-- so flavorful (see pic). The "Iconic Columbian Dish," which is Bandeja Paisa, @ $18.95 was also EXCELLENT. You MUST SEE THE PHOTO! It was a HUGE entree that consisted of bacon, grilled steak, rice, beans, fried egg, pork rind, chorizo, maduro, arepa, & avocado. (The steak was especially tender & delicious.) Be prepared to take home lots of leftovers! The Fried Calamari (Calamares) appetizer @ $10.95 was very good-- not at all chewy. The Yuca Fries included in it were GREAT, & the Sweet Plantains side was good. We are excited to Return & Return & Return so we can once again order the sides of rice & beans; try the Arepa Con Queso appetizer; the Stewed Goat; Milanesa Pork Loin; Grilled Skirt Steak; Yellow Rice w/ Chicken; & one or more of the five delicious-sounding Monfongos (a Puerto Rican plantain dish). Oh, & of course once again enjoy more Oxtail & the Iconic Columbian Dish! There are three desserts on the menu: Tres Leches; Flan de Leche; & Flan de Maracuya @ $4 to $4.50. Beverages include Columbian & American sodas; juices; Lemonade; Iced Tea; Bottled Water; 5 Coffees; 1 Tea; & Pony Malta (a nonalcoholic energy drink). There are DAILY LUNCH SPECIALS that range from $9.95 to $12.50. They include soup on Mon, Tues, Sat, & Sun; Stewed Chicken on Thurs; & Sautéed Beef/Chicken on Fri. (Tripe is the Sunday soup.) The dining room holds 10 tables; it was very clean. The interior decor is casual & comfortable, & the clientele is mainly from Columbia & Puerto Rico (according to Manager Fabian). We were the only Caucasians seated here @ the time. I am optimistic that once word speads about the quality of the food, more diners will choose to eat here. It's truly a SUPERIOR restaurant. Although the chef gets a loud round of applause for his immense talent, Manager Fabian was also impressive! I had never before seen a restaurant manager work so hard beside his staff. He was front & center assisting w/ every aspect of the business. He also took the time to approach every table to assure there were no customer concerns. Amazed w/ our food, we spoke w/ him at least three times. He answered our menu questions & checked on our service. Just an incredible person to manage a restaurant! There's no question we'll return! Five days later I finished my Oxtail w/ rice & beans. It all tasted just as DELICIOUS on Day 5 as it did the day I ordered it. That speaks VOLUMES!

From the moment you walk in, it feels warm, lively, welcoming, and full of flavor. The food was absolutely exceptional. Every bite tasted fresh, well-seasoned, and made with care. The service was just as impressive, attentive, friendly, and professional without feeling rushed. The atmosphere was perfect for celebrating, relaxing, and enjoying great company. The music added the perfect touch and made the whole experience feel even more special. There are certain places in the world where people say, "If you went there and didn't visit this spot, then you really didn't experience the place." For Tampa, Latin Grill is that spot. If you come to Tampa and don't experience Latin Grill, you are missing out. This place deserves more than five stars. It deserves ten. Absolutely exceptional from start to finish.

So after I ordered the meal I can tell that 2 things went wrong. The side of bbq sauce I requested was missing and my partner asked for brown rice and instead got white rice. So we ordered the empanada and that was deliciously good. Full of flavor. I got the toston with pork and the disappointing part about this was the fact that the toston was not fully fried was disappointing. There's parts that were in the middle of the stone that weren't crispy and I can tell just by the fact that I was cutting into it too easily. Even worse than the rice bowl. When you first start eating it it's pretty good because it's warm. For whatever odd reason it is, it tends to lose its temperature very very fast. It was way too soon and then it started to taste very bland in flavor. I couldn't even eat the rest we ended up throwing it out. I wouldn't come back because it's definitely not in the area that I live in. But even worse than that I've definitely been to other Latin bowl like restaurants that ha

We were greeted immediately and taken to a table where a birthday card signed by the staff was waiting for me. They even created a personalized menu that I got to keep. Those thoughtful touches meant so much. And the food... WOW! The Delmonico was huge and cooked to perfection. The ropa vieja was full of flavor, with meat so tender it just fell apart. And the risotto? Goodness, you just have to try it. I can't even explain how good it was! The Brussels sprouts could have been a meal on their own, and the tres leches was absolutely divine. Meadow deserves a special mention. She was so sweet, professional, and kind, and getting to know a little more about her made the evening even better. What an amazing human! The place is beautiful. I left feeling special, loved, and definitely well fed! Thank you, Nineteen61 and Meadow, for making my birthday such a memorable one.

I only went inside to use the restroom. The spaces looked nicely decorated. It definitely has an upscale vibe which matches the quality of the food. Restrooms: They had three gender neutral bathrooms. They were nice and clean. The one I used had a changing station for babies. Service: Our server was very friendly and so sweet. She was very attentive. She seemed to be working a lot of tables so the service was a little slow but it didn't bother us. She did forget our complementary drink for first time diners. She did have a lot going on so it didn't bother us either. Everyone was super friendly. Food: We really enjoyed our food. We got the 'Brussel Sprout' lunch starter and it was so good! It was packed with the flavor. The brussel sprouts were the perfect crispness. We both had their lunch special which was sooo good! This is definitely some top notch food for Lakeland. I can see why it is Michelin Recommended. The prices were reasonable too. This restaurant is on par with the top restaurants in Tampa! We loved our lunch and we will definitely be back. We want to check out their roof top bar. Always remember to shop and support local businesses. @therealistreg
